In the Clouds With Dior Couture

Christian Dior's Couture

Designer Christian Dior helped revolutionize fashion with his "New Look," which refined women's dressing after World War II, ushering in an era of luxurious refinement. A new collection from Rizzoli gathers around 100 of Dior's signature designs and gives us a historical tour through the designer's ample closets. Shot by Patrick Demarchelier, Dior Couture re-positions the collections classic elements in modern photographs. [Rizzoli, $115]
